Each Monday we will explore some aspect of Nonviolent Communication (“NVC”). NVC, also known as Compassionate Communication, was created by Marshall Rosenberg as a technique to communicate more effectively both within ourselves and with others that leads to more connection, understanding, authenticity, peace and ultimately more joyful receiving and giving.
This Monday, Oct 11: how to say “NO” and hear a “NO.”
Empower yourself to better meet your needs. Learn how to compassionately say “no” to others and stay connected. And learn how to stay connect when you ask for what you want and they say “no.”
New to NVC? That’s awesome!
We work with what we call “Needs,”
what we are really wanting/valuing/yearning for,
and “Feelings” that let us know what we need.
Visit when you can and feel free to invite anyone.
Because the giraffe is the land animal with the biggest heart and the highest perspective, it’s the mascot of Nonviolent Communication. Anyone who desires to use their heart better is a giraffe. All giraffes welcome!
